• Operate and deploy within AEM as a Cloud Service (AEMaaCS), including Cloud Manager pipelines and Dispatcher configuration
  
• Own features end-to-end, from technical design through build, testing, deployment, and hypercare
  
• Engage directly with client stakeholders, translating business requirements into technical solutions
  
• Mentor engineers and contribute to AEM delivery standards, reusable patterns, and AI playbooks
  

Qualifications and Requirements:

• 6–8+ years in full stack software engineering, with at least 4 years dedicated to Adobe Experience Manager (AEM)
  
• Demonstrable, current, daily use of AI and agentic coding tools across code, tests, documentation, and analysis, with sound judgement on where AI helps and where it must not be trusted

• AEM Assets and Content Hub, including DAM workflows and metadata governance; AEM Headless via Content Fragments and GraphQL
  
• Strong core Java (Java 8+), Spring, RESTful API design; integration with CRM platforms (Salesforce or Dynamics) and Adobe Analytics
  
• React JS or an equivalent framework; component-based design systems with documentation and governance; WCAG 2.1 AA applied consistently
  
• AEM as a Cloud Service (AEMaaCS), including Cloud Manager pipelines, Dispatcher configuration, CDN, DNS, and environment topology
  
• Test automation with Playwright, Cypress, or Selenium; working knowledge of security and penetration testing
  
• Client-facing consulting or agency experience; excellent written and verbal communication with technical and non-technical stakeholders
  
• At least one current Adobe Certification (e.g. AEM Sites Developer, AEM Developer, or equivalent)
  
• Nice to have: custom agents/MCP servers/skills you've built for a team, Edge Delivery Services, AEM Forms, Multi Site Manager/localisation, Node.js/microservices, Adobe Experience Platform tools (Target, AJO, CJA), Workfront, or other CMS/Salesforce platforms
